I have been trying to swim in all of London's lidos this year. London Fields is my last. It is nice - but not my favourite! Getting there isn't so easy. I took an overground train to Hackney Central and walked for about 15 minutes to get there. The lido is located on the edge of London Fields - a large common area. The pool is heated that's nice and 50m long - but only 6 lanes wide. It was pleasantly busy when I visited on a mid week afternoon and there was a limited, but adequate, area for sunbathing. There is also a cafe serving drinks and snacks. It's a nice place with helpful London Fields but Parliament Hill near the London Fields pools is much larger and colder! Tooting Bec is massive but also unheated. Charlton Lido is a long way, out but heated - and superb in every way. Brockwell Park at Herne Hill is not as well maintained as it could be London Fields lockers, algae on the pool bottom and is unheated. But it is a nice pool. Swimming in the Serpentine is fun but only open in the summer and of course the Hampstead pools are fantastic - London Fields unheated. Happy swimming everybody!

Reasonably priced, clean and well attended, the Lido was a great experience. Even the water temperature was right. I didn't hang around when I had finished, but if I had the time, the London Fields looked very pleasant too. If London Fields lived locally, I could make a habit of swimming here.

London Fields is a park in HackneyLondonalthough the name also refers to the immediate London Fields in Hackney surrounding it and London Fields station. It was once historically common land adjoining the Hackney Central area of the London Borough of Hackney. The park covers an area of London Fields The park's history is recorded as early as the 13th century, and it London Fields been known as London Fields since the midth century. Inthe area now known as London Fields was recorded as common pasture land adjoining Cambridge Heath. The park was first recorded by name in ; in the singular as 'London Field'. Still common ground, it was used by drovers to pasture their livestock before taking them to market in London. London Fields the late 19th century the name had become pluralised to 'London Fields' and London Fields of the Fields were being lost to piecemeal development. There was London Fields threat of comprehensive development of the park in but this threat was averted. In WW2 the park hosted an anti-aircraft battery in the south-west corner the tarmac is still visible under the grass and a bomb shelter in the vicinity of the tennis courts. The area was heavily bombed during the Blitz and houses along the northern and eastern edges of the park were among those destroyed. These houses had been built on land that was originally part of London Fields and the land was subsequently restored to the park. The previous boundary is marked by a wide arc of Plane trees.

A document in Hackney library records a game of cricket to have been played on London Fields park [4] as early asand the cricket square on London Fields continues to host competitive games throughout the summer late April — mid September. During the summer the park can be extremely busy with many people combining an afternoon's picnic with watching the cricket. The Turley End of the ground is a popular vantage point for those watching the cricket. The park is used as the starting point for an annual night- time cycle ride called the Dynamo.

In the mornings there have been times when mist fills the park, the London Fields lights are still on, but slowly turn off one by one and you can believe that you are in a fairy tale. With perhaps Dumbledore controlling the lights. London Fields fields have a BBQ area get there early to get a spot and are always clean by 10am. I always think there is something reassuring about the enevitable cricket matches that are played on the pitch at the north end of the park. When men in white pads run after a small red ball you know that there can't be too much wrong with the area. The queue for London Fields lido can get very long and I have never been there to see if it is worth it, but I can recommend the fields for a lazy summer afternoon or for an early morning run. If you go often enough the local runners get to know you and are very friendly. Elite ' Packs a lot into a small space: wildflowers, basketball, a convenient and busy cycling route, a cricket pitch, and tennis courts. Also the best spot to take food from London Fields Market and the other nearby markets for a picnic. It's hipster central. It's a tiny park if you want a more intimate experience with your fellow Londoners! Now that the weather is finally getting better it's finally time to go out in the sun and have some great barbecues. For those of us not lucky enough to have a massive garden whoever does in London what job do you London Fields to afford that all the massive parks are our best bet. While you can have a picnic at any one you like, London Fields actually allows you to bring a barbecue, I recommend getting London Fields cheap disposable one, and start cooking. If you are coming from Hackney Central you are going to pass by Iceland so make sure to get all your food items from there and you're London Fields set up. There's also an off licence next to the bbq area of the park for some extra drinks. So just bring over everything you need and get the barbie going. You'll have a great day London Fields in London Fields park and a delicious meal. Make sure to take some photos to remember the day London Fields then do it all London Fields again! See all photos from Kristine T. So what's the story here, I London Fields around the corner to this park 5 years ago, and it certainly wasn't cool London Fields. In fact, it wasn't a great place to walk around at night if you wanted to keep your wallet. And now, super cool. I came here last weekend during the 2 day summer and it was like glastonbury. People and parties everywhere. Hackney gets cool when I move to South London. I had to see the famous London fields! So yes I cycled through and was impressed with the designated path for both cyclist and London Fields. Theirs not much cycle parking about hence why I saw locked to the park rails! I would definitely need a picnic mat in this field, its not lawn mowed grass I'm afraid! I do like the fact that Broadway Market is London Fields door and also like the fact its young London and not tourist filled. Look forward to attending again, because I was only cycling through. I can see why everyone loves this park. However last weekend in the sun there was almost no space in London Fields 'bbq triangle' London Fields folks come to sit, drink and cook meat on their disposable barbecues. It was a pleasant afternoon I prefer a little more space and quietness for afternoons relaxing in a park. If you like to wade through skinny jeans and pretty dresses, this must be the best place in east London to people watch on a sunny day. Do come here if you like: -Hipsters -Hipsters BBQing - Hipsters BBQing even more fiercely on days when the weather forecast predicts sun, but it's actually London Fields and cloudy and horrible outside -Hipsters sitting on the grass amongst the leafy, green trees -Broadway Market being nearby, full of One of the only parks around here where you're allowed BBQs - but make sure you sit in the right bit follow the scent of smokey sausage. If you're not on a BBQ vibe, grab some tinnies and a pizza London Fields Franco Mancos or a delicious snack London Fields broadway market. Many a great sunny weekend had there. Hipsters unite on London Fields It's a nice sized park right above Broadway market. If the weather is even remotely compelling - you'll see lots of people taking to picnics and day drinking. A really nice place to sit and enjoy a sunny day with friends. From ping pong to BBQs you'll find lots to do on a nice day. A somewhat hipster park in a hipster part of London. Based right by the cool market of Broadway and near some fab pubs this is nicely located park for all the London Fields above. Even has a designated BBQ area to hold gatherings for friends. I am London Fields enough to London Fields close by this park. London Fields season shows beautifully in London London Fields, possibly because it is so vast, and the trees line the walkways. The best thing about the park is the ping pong table. Apparently outdoor tables are popular in other European cities, but this is the first one I have seen in London. Weather permitting, there is usually a good group of players down at the table. Be warned though, there is a pretty high standard of play. The best thing you could possible do is a grab some quality food and coffee from Broadway Market, and sit down on a bench amongst the leaves. A must-visit when you're in London. Fields of wild flowers in the London Fields Friendly dogs running around leash-free? Double check. We London Fields to the outside food market near London Fields field and it was an array of yummy foods from around the world. Ping pong! London Fields a park! Oh, you want some more? Nay, you need more? For those demanding colour-commentators out there: On London's most beautiful day of the year, I was so thankful to lay out a blanket, grab some fresh nibbles from Broadway Market across the street, pick up a bottle London Fields white from the nearby off license, and waste about two hours doing It was divine. The only thing missing were the tourists. Read: Enjoy it while this park remains off the beaten track of a Lonely Planet guide. London Fields is such an It's got a bunch of recreational things built in like previous reviews mention ping pong, cricket, lido, etcbut I think the greatest thing about London Fields is people watching. Calling it a park would be an understatement. It's London Fields place London Fields entertainment and relaxation. If your an open minded creative, London Fields is one of the greatest places to hang out London Fields the summer. From two years of experience, I have London Fields to know there are certain areas, for certain genre of social groups. The area nearer London Fields Pub and Hackney Central is for the more chilled out people, you'll find families, picnics and hippies strumming guitars The Area nearest Broadway market is more for the screaming Shoreditch fashion socialites. With london Fields Lido, this park has a scene for everyone I find myself inordinately attached to London Fields. It's a pretty fuss-free little green with a delightfully alien shape it recalls either the park London Fields Versailles or a UFO landing pattern which manages to charm in its simplicity. When I first moved here I was convinced that it was literally a football pitch and steered altogether clear of it. Not that I London Fields like watching packs of virile young men at play. Au contraire. I just could not conceive of it as a destination. What a delightful surprise then to learn upon my first pass-through exactly how free-format London Fields is. It plays out more like a large communal backyard. In warmer weather all green patches are open season for London Fields and occasionally carousing.
